Pahlevanyan Spikes River to Survive

Stewart Morrison

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Suren Pahlevanyan moved all in for 6,000, and was put at risk by Thomas Graupner in the big blind.

Suren Pahlevanyan: J♣7♣ All in
Thomas Graupner: K♠6♠

The 6♥2♥10♥ flop kept Graupner in the lead, as did the 4♦ turn.

However, the J♠ river saw Pahlevanyan leapfrog into the lead and keep his seat in the tournament.
